My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with the statement by the Treasurer that there is no housing affordability crisis in Australia?

I have been used to checking what is alleged to have been said by my colleagues.

The previous question I was asked attributed some words to the member for Herbert which were in fact used by somebody else in a conversation with the member for Herbert. In those circumstances let me say to the man who sits opposite me that he has a lot of form when it comes to these things and I will check what the Treasurer said before I respond to his question.
